Is There A White House Science Advisor?
THE SCIENCE ADVISOR: IS THERE A WHITE HOUSE SCIENCE ADVISOR?

Actually, no. The President didn't consult his science advisor
about intelligent design because he doesn't have one. George W.
Bush eliminated the job when he named John Marburger Director of
the Office of Science and Technology Policy. Previous OSTP
directors held both titles, and WN always referred to Marburger
as "Science Advisor." We were wrong, but not alone. We Googled
"science advisor" and got 597,000 hits on a nonexistent job.
As they used to say at Stony Brook when he was president, "this
would never have happened if Jack Marburger was alive."

1. Excuse me citizen, but based on your Total Information Awareness Profile
it is necessary to ask: did you mean a Godly Science advisor --or a liberal pseudo-science advisor?
One goes by numbers, the other by the Book of Numbers. Very important to distinguish them.

2. Excuse me citizen, but based on your Total Information Awareness Profile
it is necessary to ask:

did you mean to include the holy word "god" with the word "liberal" in the same sentence? One is patriotic, the other satanic. Very important to distinguish them.
